3/21/08 Open Thread; Padres vs. Brewers

Wife_and_kids_tiny by Phantom on

Well, I know this game is going to probably not attract much of an audience given that XX isn't even covering it, but I'll be listening on MLB.com. I have to deal with the Brewers' broadcast, but I'm willing to grin and bear it for all of you.

Jake is on the hill. Some of you have decided that you no longer like him.

Shame on you.

Especially you, TTG.

Actually, I got nothing. Just trying to reach the character limit. Mostly B-squadders today with Kouz and Barrett as the only starters.

Apparently the Brewers
sent Sheets and Gallardo to beat up on our minor leaguers this morning. Classy.

The Mashin Macedonian!!!
Even better is that it went to CF, right over Cameron.

Padres up 1-0 top 1st.

MLB Gameday
Wierd, Says Parrino instead of Peavy. Even Wieder, XX isn't covering the game. Wierdest USD is keeping up with UCONN and is looking better than them right now.

XX
Oh, its the BBall game.

P-Keg
with a line-drive double down the line to score Tony Clark (who walked). P-Keg to third on the throw home. Headley up now. Padres 2, Brewers still waiting to bat.

waiting for first pitch...

Jeez
This is a really ghetto radio broadcast. Between innings I get the in-stadium PA announcements.

I was just told: "Remember to be tobacco free."

Jake
Did he get scratched?? I'm showing Andrew Parrino?!?!

by sdsuaztec4 on Mar 21, 2008 1:20 PM PDT   0 recs

Unless
the Brewers announcers are completely retarded (and I wouldn't put it past them), Jake is still pitching.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 1:21 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Great
Here comes the "Jake's only successful because of PETCO" crap.

God I hate not listening to our guys.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 1:24 PM PDT   0 recs

Jake
is apparently struggling with his control today. Jake has walked two guys in the first.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 1:26 PM PDT   0 recs

Jake serves up
a 3-run blast to Braun. Wonderful.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 1:27 PM PDT   0 recs

Whoa
Padres are hitting .292 as a team this Spring. It would be REALLY REALLY REALLY nice if we could keep that up during the year.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 1:30 PM PDT   0 recs

You know what else would be
REALLY REALLY NICE? Jake not giving up 3 run Homers.

by sdsuaztec4 on Mar 21, 2008 1:35 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Agreed.
After he gave up the dinger he struck out the next two guys, so maybe he's got his release point down.

umm
could anyone tell me why my audio isnt playing??
its bugging the frick outa me

then stops

by iLOVEkouz5 on Mar 21, 2008 1:39 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

HAH!
The Honkeytonk Man (former WWE Intercontinental Champion) is in attendance at the game. See what you miss when you don't get the in-stadium PA announcements between innings?

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 1:37 PM PDT   0 recs

Christ
Jason Kendall almost takes Jake yard.

Embarassing.

He's on Roids
He's on Roids. He's on fucking steroids!

After 2 complete
Padres down 3-2.

USD
is kicking some ass and taking some names against Connecicut.

by sdsuaztec4 on Mar 21, 2008 2:00 PM PDT   0 recs

CBS is about to jinx them
About to switch them to the national telecast...

by Winfield's Ghost on Mar 21, 2008 2:12 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Well all the other games are over
And USD is starting to look like USD right about now. 7-0 UCONN Run.

Fielder almost
took Jake deep and hit a booming double. Seems like the Brewers are hitting him hard today.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 2:04 PM PDT   0 recs

Chase!
Throws out Fielder trying to score from LF. Nice!

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 2:06 PM PDT   0 recs

Baby's First
Outfield assist? Even if it was on Prince "fat ass" Fielder.

Think so
Great to hear.

Bard
apparently learned from yesterday and decided to stop at 1st and not round too hard.

usd
There goes the lead. and Pomare with his 4th foul.

by sdsuaztec4 on Mar 21, 2008 2:22 PM PDT   0 recs

Jake
The hits don't really worry me, its the 3 BBs. He should have his control by now with only 10 days till opening night.

by sdsuaztec4 on Mar 21, 2008 2:24 PM PDT   0 recs

Agreed
He was apparently quite animated today as he was frustrated by his inability to throw strikes.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 2:27 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

3-2
Brewers after 4.5. C'mon Pads. Score some runs.

usd
WG you watching this? its getting intense. even though I dont' even like usd. 13 would be the highest seed to win so far. up 4 with 53 seconds to go.

its gonna come down
to the charity strip

missed free throws=fail
Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

with the ball, gotta make the rest though

one pt lead, 17 secs left...
...and still doesn't look good.

by Winfield's Ghost on Mar 21, 2008 2:47 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

lucky
didn't get called for a charge

by sdsuaztec4 on Mar 21, 2008 2:48 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

OT
doesn't look good for San Diego

by sdsuaztec4 on Mar 21, 2008 2:50 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

really?
how do you miss that layup. stupid guy.

by sdsuaztec4 on Mar 21, 2008 2:51 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

What is this attitude
carryover from last season?

by sdsuaztec4 on Mar 21, 2008 2:52 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

It's reality
They are gagging.  Pomare has 4.  They're playing hot potato on the offensive end.  B. Johnson is only one that wants ball and UConn figured it out.

And he shoulda made that friggin' layup.

by Winfield's Ghost on Mar 21, 2008 2:54 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

missed layups=double fail
Ginty!!! God, if he made either of the back ends on his free throws, ballgame. 2-4 FT at the end of an NCAA tourney game is unacceptable.
Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

by JBro12 on Mar 21, 2008 2:52 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Pomare
is straight ridiculous from the 18-20 foot range.

Of course, right as I type this, he fouls out. Let's go Rob Jones/Brandon Johnson!

Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

by JBro12 on Mar 21, 2008 2:57 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

One Minute Remaining
There goes the lead...

by sdsuaztec4 on Mar 21, 2008 2:59 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

ROB EFFING JONES!
A couple of amazing shots and regulation and then taking control in OT!
Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

Also with a multi-hit game. Too bad Jake Sucks today.

I love Bardo!
I especially love saying his name instead of Charge! when they do the Duh Duh D-Duh D-Duhhhhh thing at games.

How clutch was KT in '06 with his trades? AGo and CY for the remains of Eaton plus Otsuka, Cla and Bardo for the charred remains of Doug Freakin' Mirabelli, and then before '07 season trading for the Mashing Macedonian. An awesome 365 for the GM back then.

by Wonko on Mar 21, 2008 2:58 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Headley
The more I see him face real pitching, the more I think he should start in AAA. Buddy Black sounded like he was thinking the same the other day on XX.

by Wonko on Mar 21, 2008 2:52 PM PDT   0 recs

.359
ST AVG. Can't be all shitty pitching.

by sdsuaztec4 on Mar 21, 2008 2:56 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

What I mean is
He got a lot of hits off of guys ticketed for the minors and today he's struggling against Bush and Villanueva two bonafide MLers.

by Wonko on Mar 21, 2008 3:00 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Dear Jake,
Stop sucking, jackass.

Your Mortal Adversary,

Joe

Damnit Padres. Pitch better!

Rusch
Don't worry, Glendon is in. He's our best pitcher.

Best we've seen today, at least.

Rusch's ST ERA? 0.87  Rusch or Germano in the 5 hole??

by sdsuaztec4 on Mar 21, 2008 3:01 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I'd go with Rusch
since he's a lefty. Let Germano play swingman/long relief.

by Phantom on Mar 21, 2008 3:02 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

This is gonna sound rude but...
Anyone who uses ST stats to set rosters should be fired immediately. In a multi-million dollar business you just can't make decisions like that and expect to produce. I saw a great article on BP where they pointed out stats of guys for random months during the regular season. To sum it up, you can't really figure out anything based on them and that's against only ML competition, not the mixed bag you get in ST.
